254 TRANSACTIONS OF ROYAL SCOTTISH ARBORICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
REFORESTATION IN SCOTLAND. 
On the tr2th March 1907, in the House of Commons, 
Mr Alden asked the Prime Minister whether there had been 
under consideration a large scheme for reafforesting 30,000 acres 
in Scotland; whether the House could be supplied with par- 
ticulars of that scheme; and, if so, whether in the near future 
he saw any prospect of carrying it into execution. 
To this the Prime Minister replied as follows:—I am informed 
that a scheme of reafforestation is under the consideration of 
the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. The scheme has not 
yet reached the stage at which it would be desirable for me to 
enter into detail, but I shall be happy to give further informa- 
tion on the subject if matters are, as I hope they may be, 
satisfactorily concluded. 
THE DENBIGHSHIRE EXPERIMENTAL STATION.! 
A scheme for the treatment of the Chirk Forest Area, accom- 
panied by a map, has been prepared by Mr Fraser Story. It 
includes a statement of the estimated expenditure upon work 
connected with the scheme. Seedling plants were purchased, 
some of them in Germany, and were developed in a home 
nursery at Iddon, while seeds were sown in another nursery at 
Groggen Iddon. The work proceeds under favourable auspices, 
and a satisfactory result may be confidently looked for. F. B.
